Windows 7: Microsoft Revives Student 'Buy a PC, Get an Xbox' Offer

It's that time again: No, not high-school graduation, but Microsoft's buy a PC, get an Xbox offer.



Beginning May 20 in the U.S., students who buy a qualifying Windows PC worth $699 or more at participating retailers can get a 4GB Xbox 360 console for free, just like last year, Microsoft said. Canadian customers can also pay $500 or more for a PC, then get the same console for free as well.

Note that students will have to provide student identification before the retailer will honor the offer, so prospective students would be well-advised to check out the offer at the retailer itself.
